        People with FreeBSD 13.2 or later as a guest are also now able to use Netlink to get their IP address changes reported instantly (rather than having to wait for as much as 1 minute).

        This is however not yet part of our CI jobs, as we rely on cross-rs, which for now only provides FreeBSD 12 cross-build support. Your choices to try it:

        • build it yourself
        • manually-prebuilt binary

        Don't forget to kldload netlink first, the Netlink support is not active by default!

          ubuntu 20 = debian 11. Are the tools compatible?

          At blog you forgot the name of tools to install πŸ˜ƒ https://xcp-ng.org/blog/2023/12/15/rust-guest-tools-0-3-0/

            Fixed the blog post. Don't know for Ubuntu, only tested on Debian on my side (even Debian 11). It seems you have a 401 HTTP code on your side. Gitlab issue or network issue?

                Yeah, I would say Gitlab access issue, for whatever reason 🀷 Wait a bit a retry later. We'll probably mirror it to provide a more available solution that Gitlab.

                      @olivierlambert same, 200. Probably it again cloudflare issues.

                          If installing on a machine that already had the old guest tools, is it necessary to uninstall them first (I would imagine so). How do you uninstall old guest tools?

                            @chrisfonte new tools will remove the old one during install.

                              Worked well for me with apt on virtualized Pop!_OS.

                                  I also encountered this same issue with this on Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS. Upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and re-enabling the repository resolved the issue.

                                    Well it still don't work for ubuntu20.
                                    Also i can't create Nexus proxy repo even for 22, with same error.
                                    Looks like restrictions for some auth type. Because the repo is not accessible by direct link, i can't really check anything. Any ideas?

                                      I bet on a Gitlab hosting weird issue or something. You can download the package directly from here: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/releases

                                      In your case: https://gitlab.com/xen-project/xen-guest-agent/-/jobs/5762006911/artifacts/raw/target/release/xen-guest-agent_0.3.0_amd64.deb?inline=false

                                          Successfully install tools on ubuntu 20 from deb packet.
                                          Ubuntu 18 need some dependencies: The following packages have unmet dependencies: xen-guest-agent : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.28) but 2.27-3ubuntu1.6 is to be installed
                                          libc6 is only available for ubuntu 20+ https://pkgs.org/search/?q=libc6

                                          So that some repo issues.

                                            Next release will be statically linked so it should solve the problem. However, our target is clearly modern distros initially πŸ˜‰
